history

Refugees in East Timor after the 2007 general election.

Viqueque, Bibiluto and Luca were traditional Timorese empires ruled by Liurais . They appear on a list of Afonso de Castro , a former governor of Portuguese Timor who listed 47 empires in a list in 1868. The influence of Lucas extended into today's municipality of Baucau and probably also dominated the area, as well as the empire of Viqueque.

The Dominican Manuel de Santo António settled in Luca around 1700 and successfully converted the rulers of the region to Christianity, including Mateus da Costa , the Liurai of Viqueque. Viqueque became a key place for Bishop Manuel in his goal to Christianize Timor.

In 1708 the Portuguese governor Jácome de Morais Sarmento had Mateus da Costa arrested and humiliated him. The governor found the Liurai “too independent” and should be replaced. Domingos da Costa , the ruler of the Topasse , then besieged the colonial capital Lifau until 1709 Manuel de Santo António was able to persuade him to end. Governor Manuel de Souto-Maior , the successor to Morais Sarmento, rehabilitated Dom Mateus.

Governor José Celestino da Silva (1894–1908) visits the empire of Viqueque. Next to him stands the ruler Brigadeiro D. Mateus da Costa Rangel Sarmento Pinto.

During the Cowa Rebellion in 1868 , Viqueque and Luca supported the Portuguese colonial rulers with their own troops, and in April 1896 Luca's Liurai signed a treaty on his vassal status .

From Uato-Lari, one of the last great rebellions against Portuguese colonial rule extended to neighboring areas in 1959 . About 1000 Timorese were killed during the Viqueque Rebellion . The leaders of the uprising were sent into exile in Africa. The rebellion was fueled by Indonesians who had found asylum in Portuguese Timor and then settled in Uatu-Lari. It is not clear whether they were Indonesian separatists or agents.

In 1983 the Kraras massacre occurred in which almost 300 civilians were killed by Indonesian soldiers in several incidents. After independence, a memorial was erected to commemorate the massacre in the Valley of the Widows .

In October 1986 the East Timorese FALINTIL, fighting against the Indonesian occupation, managed to occupy the city of Viqueque for three days.

In the election campaign for the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2007 and after the change of government on August 8, there was massive political violence in the region. Over 1500 people in what was then the sub-district fled their homes. The area around the city of Viqueque and Fatudere was a source of unrest. Refugees also came from Uato-Lari.
